CIC sends me Biometric letter one hour after I apply, Is this weird or something ?
I have heard that it usually takes 3 to 4 days for the Biometric letter to arrive.
Also, Where is the VAC located in Karachi ?
I got biometric letter immediately after I applied along with the confirmation letter. So nothing weird here

best wishes!! may god bring good news

so...both of u applied online ryt?
which date???
Its nothing weird, I got my acknowledge for the visa application and biometric request within 10 mins, as soon as I did paid the processing fees.
The VAC office in Karachi is near Nursery furniture Market, on Sharah e Faisal. Its walk-in you don't need to book an appointment before you go.
Good Luck!

What would I do after showing them the biometric letter and giving my fingerprints ?
How would CIC know that I am done with my Biometric ?
Will VAC update them ? if yes, then how much time will it take to update CIC ?
You don't need to do anything. MyCiC status will be updated the next day

Take the print out of the
Biometric Letter and remember to take your
valid/current passport.
It will be updated automatically online at the same time from VAC. You can also check it on your CIC account within a day or two. My biometrics confirmation on CIC account was updated at 00:00 hours at night, when I checked it.
Ones you are done with your biometrics, they will give you a receipt and tracking ID as well for your record.
One more thing for the location is, its the next street from Fortune Center Building, which is easily visible on Sharah e Faisal or can be asked by people around nursery.

Hi, I also got my biometric request. Now should I provide my fingerprint in VAC office any day or CIC will provide me a schedule/date??
